(MIAMI HERALD) — News organizations including The Miami Herald and its parent company, The McClatchy Co., along with The Washington Post, The New York Times and others filed an objection Thursday to Pentagon plans to close a terrorism hearing next week where details could emerge of a detainee’s mistreatment at secret CIA prisons overseas.
The objection surrounds the case of Abd al Rahim al Nashiri, the alleged al-Qaida mastermind of the USS Cole attack in 2000 that killed 17 U.S. sailors.
